Student Parking
Student Resident Parking Permits:
Students who will be living in resident halls on campus are considered "Resident Students" and are eligible to purchase a resident (yellow) parking permit. Students who are not living in a resident hall on campus are not eligible to purchase a resident permit.
Students living in Cambridge, Fox Meadows, or Element Apartments are not eligible to purchase resident permits. They may purchase commuter (orange or brown) permits, however commuter permits do not allow you to leave your vehicle parked in any commuter or resident lots overnight.
Six parking areas near residence halls are reserved Monday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters, for use only by resident parking permit holders. Resident permits are valid only in the assigned parking lot that is printed on the yellow permit. All other parking permits are not valid in these resident areas. Resident parking permits are not valid in stalls that have signs posted "Reserved" or "Restricted". If you park in a metered (Passport Parking App) space, you must pay for the time parked in the space by downloading the app. Violators will be subject to tickets.
If at anytime you cannot find an open stall in your lot you have purchased a permit for, you should call Parking Services during our business hours or UWW Police after hours (262-472-4660) to report you are unable to park in your designated lot. We will instruct you where to park so you do not receive an unwanted citation and ticket any violators.
Students living in Pulliam Hall or Ma'iingan Hall and have purchased a reserved (red) Lot #3 or Lot #9 parking permit, will park in the spaces designated by signs stating "Red Lot # Permit Required" and the assigned space number corresponding with the Lot 3 or Lot 9 parking permit. These spaces are reserved at all times including weekends.
